The vast majority of improvised and craft-produced weapons cannot be easily traced, although certain forensic and investigative techniques show promise in closing this gap. In several countries, such firearms account for a sizable proportion of weapons seized in law enforcement operations. Criminals outside of active conflict zones, especially in developing states and territories, appear to hold the highest concentrations of craft-produced small arms. If I clean a bore, then try wipe out a bunch more crud comes out. In various locations, these weapons account for most of the firearms used in crime in others, their production is institutionalized, providing essential income for local gunsmiths. Improvised and craft-produced firearms remain an important source of firepower for a wide range of actors, including tribal groups, poachers, criminals, insurgent groups, and even some states and quasi-state groups. Although the number of craft-produced small arms and light weapons is difficult to estimate, they are prevalent and range broadly in sophistication and quality.
